How could Jiang Sheng possibly have imagined this!
How could the young lady of the prestigious Ji family go to a poor, remote mountain village like Yao County all by herself?
When they first met, Li Ruyan didn't even have a single piece of valuable jewelry on her!
So although he did have some doubts before, Li Ruyan was beautiful and her demeanor and speech were not at all like that of a country person.
How could he possibly associate her with a top-tier wealthy family like the Ji family?!
And Jiang Nian...
Chen Fulan and Ranran clearly told him that they had stumbled upon Jiang Nian finding his relatives on a family-finding website.
They said Jiang Nian's maternal grandfather was a pig farmer in a poor county and was dying of illness. His uncle didn't even have a job, and his seven older brothers were so poor they couldn't even find wives.
That's the Ji family, who control half of Jiangcheng's economy!
Does the word "poor" even remotely apply to the Ji family?
So, this mother and daughter were deliberately lying to him?!
Jiang Sheng trembled all over.
He grabbed his phone on the spot and drove home.
Chen Fulan was still asleep in the morning. Before she could even open her eyes when she heard the noise, Jiang Sheng, who was furious, grabbed her and dragged her to the ground.
"You filthy bitch! Did you know Jiang Nian was the long-lost heiress of the Ji family and deliberately keep it from me?!"
Chen Fulan's eyes widened: "What's wrong with you so early in the morning!"
Then it dawned on her, her face filled with disbelief, "What did you say? Who are you talking about, the long-lost daughter of the Ji family?"
"Stop pretending!"
Jiang Sheng's chest heaved with anger. "Li Ruyan, she's Ji Fusheng's daughter!"
"The pig-farming grandfather you're talking about, Jiang Nian, is none other than Old Master Ji of the Ji family! Jiang Nian is the Ji family's daughter who was brought back!"
"How is this possible?"
Chen Fulan almost choked.
Like a bolt from the blue, his face was filled with terror.
"Now I know how a company can go bankrupt so easily,"
Jiang Sheng completely disregarded the fact that Chen Fulan was pregnant and slapped her hard across the face.
She gritted her teeth and cursed, "It's all because of you, you bitch! You knew I had a wife, yet you still seduced me into having an affair and made me abandon Li Ruyan."
"If it weren't for you, I would be the Ji family's son-in-law now. Would I have ended up in this situation?"
"It was you who instigated me to abandon Jiang Nian in a ravine since birth and then let me sell her for five million to marry a dead man."
"Tell me, how can the Ji family not see me as a thorn in their side now?!"
Chen Fulan was so dizzy from the beating that she felt lightheaded.
I was still completely dazed.
Li Ruyan is the eldest daughter of the Ji family.
Li Ruyan is actually the eldest daughter of the Ji family!
"...Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
Jiang Ranran, who had just returned to Jiangcheng last night, heard the commotion and came over to see this scene. She covered her mouth in horror.
Jiang Sheng was even more furious when he saw Jiang Ranran.
His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Chen Fulan and roared, "And your good daughter too!"
"I spent so much money and raised her for so many years, and what kind of trash have I produced?"
"Speaking of grades, I have to pull strings to change my score so I can stay in the top class. Jiang Nian was a math genius at ten years old and got full marks on the exam. Speaking of talents, I've been learning the cello for so many years, but can I score as high as Jiang Nian in a music competition? Now I've been expelled from school, making me lose face."
"I was completely blinded by you two before, neglecting Jiang Nian and treating your daughter like a treasure!"
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ranran burst into tears, her lips trembling as she stammered, "Dad, what are you saying..."
"Don't call me Dad!"
Jiang Sheng has almost gone mad.
I don't even want to look at the mother and daughter.
He was filled with deep regret.
If only he had treated Li Ruyan better back then.
If only he had known, he would have kept Jiang Nian by his side back then.
Look at him now, he offended the Ji family, his company went bankrupt, he sold his car and house and is still heavily in debt.
Niannian... no matter what, Niannian is his biological daughter.
Is it too late for Jiang Sheng to beg for her forgiveness now? At this point, Jiang Sheng still harbored a last glimmer of hope.
Why don't he just buy a ticket for a midday flight and fly to Beijing...?
*
noon.
Jiang Nian got off the plane and walked to the arrival hall.
She has been in the capital for a week.
She was concerned about her grandfather's health and knew that her brothers were also concerned about her, so she took advantage of the weekend to go home and visit them.
Looking up, I saw my eldest brother, third brother, and fifth brother standing outside the arrivals line. They had all come to the airport to pick me up.
Jiang Nian was somewhat surprised.
Even though she was away from home for a few days, isn't this a bit too much of a fuss?
"Big brother, third brother, fifth brother... what's wrong with you three? You all look like you haven't rested well."
Jiang Nian walked over and stood in front of her three older brothers.
But before she could finish speaking, Ji Yanli pulled her tightly into his arms.
Ji Yanli's voice was hoarse: "...Niannian, I'm sorry."
Jiang Nian was even more confused, her tone tinged with bewilderment: "Big brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"
"It's nothing," Ji Yanli said, his nose tingling. "I just missed you."
Now, he touches his sister with unconscious caution.
I wonder if my sister has any signs of childhood abuse.
Once in the car, Ji Qiyue remained silent, simply hugging his sister and burying his head in her shoulder.
Jiang Nian couldn't resist pinching Ji Qiyue's ear.
"Fifth Brother, what's wrong with you again? You guys are all acting strangely today."
Ji Qiyue's answer was exactly the same as Ji Yanli's, his voice muffled: "...It's nothing."
I just wanted to protect my younger sister.
I want to protect her from now on, so that she will never be hurt again.
Jiang Nian looked at Ji Xiuan beside her: "Why isn't Third Brother saying anything?"
Ji Xiuan raised his long, beautiful hand, rubbed his sister's head, and smiled slightly.
Her voice was gentle and pleasant, "I was thinking, my darling is home, what should we eat for dinner tonight?"
Jiang Nian didn't care about any of that and looked at her third brother: "I'm fine with anything I eat."
After getting off the bus, Ji Xiuan walked last.
The moment his sister stepped into the house, his eyes turned incredibly cold.
Have you found them?
Let's get started.
